John 2

Transformed Water (2004) (9 3/4" x 2" x 8 1/2")

The first half of John's Gospel is arranged around seven "I am" sayings of Jesus, seven feasts of the Jews, and seven miracles. The turning of the water into wine at Cana is the first of the miracles, or "signs" as John prefers to call them. This sign not only shows Jesus' power over natural laws; it also points to his Father, who also changes water to wine using a slower process.
